very confused as to what career to choose (need help)

I have been thinking a lot and I still cant decide what career to choose HVAC or sprinkler fitting. what job pays more, which one is more harder, who has more jobs. what are good and the cons for both jobs. Also if any one here lives in Toronto I would realy like to here his opinion.

thank you.

IF you love the challenge of problem solving
IF you have an aptitute for math, science, physics and electronics
IF you have mechnical ability
IF you want to be top dog in the trades
IF you love to constantly learn and be challenged
THEN pick HVAC

that's fire sprinklers, I talked to one of the guys who worked at simplex and he told me he gets 51$/h plus he is unionized and works only 40 hours a week. that seems like a solid job to me. but I want to hear more then just from one source.

depends on ur area, over by me some towns r makin it code for all new construction homes to be sprinkled, i hear its pretty decent but i cant imagine theyd be busy year round doin that alone, mayb if ur workin for a fire prevention company ud be busY

all those questions are wildly varied depending on location and type of HVAC work...i know some who are sitting at home and some who are pulling +60 hours a week..many Union many more Non-union. some making $0 because they are starting there own business, some +$40 because of skill and demand for there niche market. To many variables to have a solid answer.
